About the role
We are looking for a Client Services Manager to own the delivery and client experience of our custom content projects.
You will take over once a deal is signed. You will manage timelines, coordinate internal teams, and act as the main point of contact for clients. You will also manage a small team and play a key role in improving how we deliver work as we scale.
This is a senior, hands-on role. You will run projects directly while overseeing delivery across the wider team. You will work closely with sales, editorial, design, and operations to ensure projects are delivered on time, on brief, and to a high standard.
We work with clients across life sciences, chemistry, and analytical science. You will manage projects for a technical, science-literate audience, so a background in biology, chemistry, or a related field is essential.
